Despite the cautions of saying Me Too, I'll add that I have two up to 
date Intrepid systems and one of them will not wake by mouse, the other 
one does. I don't know if it's related to whether you have a PS/2 port 
mouse vs. a USB mouse or not, but I never changed any settings for the 
screensaver or mouse that relate to waking from mouse nor have I been 
able to find anything to change the behavior. I just sort of wrote it 
off as a minor annoyance.
